Bulls take advantage of Paul injury, beat Hornets in OT

Basketball Betting Lines

01/29/2010 - New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Luol Deng scored the game-tying bucket in the last second of regulation and finished with 26 points, and Chicago took advantage of an injury to Chris Paul to beat New Orleans in overtime, 108-106.

The Bulls trailed by two after David West sank a layup with half a minute to play, but West's poor inbound pass for Paul late in the game led to Deng's follow with 0.2 seconds on the clock.

Paul appeared to injure his left knee trying to track down West's pass, and tried to play in overtime, but was ineffective as he limped up and down the court. The Hornets had a chance for a game-tying bucket in the final seconds of overtime, but Darren Collison, filling Paul's role at the point, lost the ball to seal the Chicago victory.

Derrick Rose added 18 points for the Bulls, who have won five in a row, while Joakim Noah recorded 18 rebounds and 13 points.

West had 29 points and 14 boards for the Hornets, who had won their last two. Paul finished with 18 points and 12 assists, while Marcus Thornton had 20 points in the loss.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
